survey monkey analysis

to get a better understanding of what people like in a thriller film I created a syrvey on survey monkey where I asked different questions about a thriller.

below you are able to see my results. 

The first question I asked was 'what is your age?' I asked this to get a better understanding of what the age group may be when I make my thriller film. from my survey i was bale to see that 90% were ages 13-18 and the remaining 10% is aged 19-24. these results are important as i am able to see and think about who my target audience may be and how to make it appealing for them. 

I then went on to ask them what their gender is. I asked this so I would be able to get a better understanding at who may watch the thriller opening we create. From my sirvey I was able to see that 50% were female and the other 50% were male. Due to these results I know that I will be aiming my thriller at both males and females. 

The third question I asked was what their favourite sub genre of a thriller is. From this I was able to see that 20% of them chose conspiracy thriller as their favourite. 30% chose crime thriller as their favourite. 30% chose horror thriller as their favourite. 10% chose comedy as their favourite and 10% chose supernatural. due to these results I will base my thriller opening around either a crime thriller or a horror. I will most likely pick crime thriller as i find this would be the easiest to come up with ideas for. 

I then went on to ask what they think the most effective features are of a thriller. 10% said music, 30% said actors/actresses, 40% said mise-en-scene, 10% said opening titles and 10% said camera shots. From these results, I am able to see that the most effective feature that my audience prefer is mise-en-scene. Therefor I will make sure the mise-en-scene of my thriller is well chosen and symbolises a thriller.

I then asked what they think the most appropriate colour is for a thriller. 30% said grey, 30% said white, 20% said black, 10% said red and the remaining 10% said purple. From these I am able to see that the majority said white, grey and black. Due to these results, we will make sure too use these colours in our title to ensure it stands out. 

For this question i asked what the think would be the most effective in a thriller. for some reason one person skipped the question, but these are the results from the 9 who did answer. 11.11% said kidnapping, 33.33% said murder, 11.11% said chase scenes and the remaining 44.44& said psychological. From these I am able to see that the majority think a murder or a psychological scene would be the most effective in a thriller, there for we will base our thriller around one of these.

The last question I asked was whether or not they think an intense opening is important or not in a thriller. 90% said yes and the remaining 10% said no. From these I am able to see that the majority do think it is important for a thriller to have an intense opening. We will take this into consideration when filming out opening, we will ensure we have an intense opening. in my opinion, I think it is important to have an intense opening as it intrigues the audience to find out more about the film.

These results are very helpful as they have helped me get a better understanding of what my target audience will want to see in my thriller opening. I will take these into consideration when discussing to my group what to do for our opening.
